Abbott says it is restarting its plant in Michigan after it was closed because of contamination.
US firm Abbott says it is restarting production at a baby formula plant after its shutdown contributed to a national shortage of the baby food.Coupled with global supply chain issues, the factory's closure led to acute shortages.
Parents were left scrambling for supplies, seeking formula from food banks, friends and doctor's offices. Some turned to social media to try to track down baby milk, while others attempted to make their own substitutes .the company said in a statementAbbott said it would initially prioritise the production of its EleCare speciality formulas for babies with severe food allergies and digestive problems.
"We're also working hard to fulfil the steps necessary to restart production of Similac and other formulas," Abbott said, referring to its more mainstream products. It plans to ramp up production as quickly as possible "while meeting all requirements", it said. The company said it would take about three weeks before new formula from the plant began reaching stores.
